CARDAMA SHIPYARD is heir of a longstanding experience in the shipbuilding and ship repair coming from the historic background in the area where we are located.

The trajectory of FRANCISCO CARDAMA, S.A. begins the 18th of July of 1.932 on behalf of Francisco Cardama Godoy, who aimed to expand the company that bore his name and had been operating since 1.914.

Despite the continuous fluctuations to which the shipbuilding industry is subject, FRANCISCO CARDAMA, SA has adapted to the new market demands, investing heavily in updating and innovation of machinery, as well as carrying out a constant work of technology watch in the sector, in order to detect innovations emerging internationally, both in machinery and in process.

This process of innovation and update, in which the company is still immersed, is not only limited to the purchase of new equipment; parallel to this process of investment in fixed assets, such action has been completed with the adoption of modern management techniques throughout the organization thanks to its constant desire to improve and adapt to new customer needs.

For these reasons, the company has always enjoyed the full confidence of our customers, which together with the good work done by our professionals, have made us one of the most in demand shipyards.
